It would be interesting To find our In which way the Forum members Have Helped You..
Share your experiences. Thanks My Friends.. Life is, Good
I have found a lot of answers to questions by searching history and reading problems others are having. Always a good source for information and sometimes a laugh or two.
I'm a newer member here and with it I have a lot of questions, even more when I decided to tear down my new-to-me JD 180. Missing parts, parts not where they should be, etc etc. the community here has been great and helped me along. So thankful.
I have on many occasions inspected machines for out of state buyers and gave a little more insight as to condition high priced items the seller would try to otherwise hide or not disclose. I delivered a machine awhile back as it happened to be ~20mi from where we were staying.
I asked about a leaf pick up system, couldn't believe the help and suggestions..went on for several days. Ended up with a Cyclone Rake, pricey but that's why I asked for opinions. By the way, I wouldn't trade that machine for anything. Leaves are starting now...but it picks up my clippings all year. Just fantastic. Thanks to all on this site..super great!
There are things on this forum you would never know about, too many to mention, but it makes you a better buyer, better repairman ( able to fix things you thought you couldn't), more knowledgable when you are getting repairs from dealers. Common faults of models you thought were just on yours. :tango_face_glasses:
IDK where to start. I guess I'll start with the vast amount of knowledge I've gained from you guys about John Deere LT's and GT's over the last 5 or 6 years of me reading this site and not to mention the amount of knowledge I've gained by being a member. The most notable in my mind has been the help with my 332 I can't thank you guys enough. Not to mention I have a significantly greater understanding of how these little diesel's work thanks to you guys than when I joined. One member I'd like to thank in particular is @nick4030 Nick you have been a huge help with me and my 332 and sorting out all the issues I've had with it. Plus I have a huge respect for your knowledge on these little tractors and diesel engines and hope I'll get to your level one day.
@mrbeef Kyle it may not seem like it but I do have a very deep respect for you and your level of knowledge on these machines. Your posts are some of the most informative posts on this forum and I can firmly say I've learned a crap ton from them about these machines and mechanics in general not to mention the history of these machines.
@littletractorguy Tyson I have learned a ton about RF's from reading your posts and I've learned even more about my 165 than I already knew. But your knowledge on the RF's blows my mind I wish I could have just a fraction of it.
@Mike X485 Mike I know you and I don't generally see eye to eye but I want to thank you for keeping my teenage self in check on here. The rest of the MTF Staff I want to thank you guys for keeping this from the most friendly place on the internet.
And to all of my friends @Ericjr16@BigMitch@nick4030 and others. Thanks for being my friends guys and for keeping me in the hobby and on the forum when I have had some rough times and all of the info and knowledge you guys have shared with me.
332; In a prior post you Indicated A possible Starting/Glow plug Solenoid Weakening. I replaced 2 of them. (the one Down on the Lower Left side of Engine Bulkhead) What I did To test mine. I timed it For the Light to go out. Then I hooked the glow plugs direct to the battery . Timed it again. . It took longer For the Light to go out Going trough the Starting relay. The only thing is that thing is the size of a Flasher Unit. But it Cleans out your wallet ;;
Enjoy

Scraped it Along with a lot of Other Important Parts... The way this thing Is getting into my Living expenses I will Be drinking Water , and Have a $5000.00 John Deere 140 H3; I ask my self, Self Why are you doing this??
Life is Good. Some times Not Fair ..
I was a new forum member in 2013 and on the prowl for something John Deere for snow removal. I found a gx335 with snow blade in central Ohio for $2250.
I tried to get the owner
down in price but to no avail. However, I did reviewed numerous posts and knew value of similar as I really wanted a gx345. I was surprised that the tractor was still available after I
decided to go for it. To me it seemed like a pretty good price. I drove 45 minutes and brought it home.
In my attempts to get the snow plow mounted I had some issues and could not see how everything lined up. I posted a question and shortly Jimbochap from New Jersey offered some help.
He had his mower deck attached and posted some suggestions. Next thing I know he had removed the deck, attached his snow plow and even posted pictures of getting it attached. That
did it as I then had it attached very shortly.
This is a great forum with lots of knowledge and so many willing to share what they know without calling you stupid for not seeing it like they do. Thanks to all for sharing so much!!
